A native of Stockton, she was born October 5, 1960. Jan was a graduate of Linden High School, attended San Joaquin Delta College and received a Bachelor's degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Jan was married for over 22 years, and continually expanded upon her talents by being a fully committed wife and mother with the community.

Her maternal enjoyment of supporting her son's activities at Davis School, St. Michael's Church, Morada Little League, Tokay High School, and around the home yielded lasting friendships for her and her family members. She supported her husband's work efforts at the Waterloo Morada fire department and with the cherry orchard, but most impressively dedicated many hours to the care and comfort of her in-laws while working for Bambas Real Estate Appraisal Company. Her calm, steady demeanor complimented her radiant smile and kind heart. She will be missed by many.

Jan is survived by her beloved family which includes husband, Mark Lucchesi; sons, Matthew Lucchesi and Gino Lucchesi; father, Allan (Mary) Thode of Murphys, California; mother, Beverley Fetsch (Bill) Tout of Bend, Oregon; a brother, Chris (Shelley) Thode; in-laws, Diane and Alvin Smith and Donna and Pat O'Brien; mother-in-law, Lorraine Rugani; and her nieces and nephews, Gina, Shana, Dayna, Lacey and Brent; and her many Fetsch and Thode cousins. Jan is preceded in death by her father-in-law, John P. Lucchesi. Jan's family will host a gathering on Friday, May 27, 2011 at 3:00 p.m. at the Italian Athletic Club, 3541 N. Cherryland Avenue, Stockton, California. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Matthew & Gino's College Fund, c/o Bank Of The West Hammer Branch 1440 E. Hammer Lane Stockton, CA 95210.
